The greats of the tennis world and more than 686,000 tennis fans came to Melbourne Park for the first major tournament of 2012 - the Austrailian Open. World No. 1 Noval Djokovic faced No. 2 Rafael Nadal in the Men's final, their third consecutive Grand Slam finals match. 2011 was a stellar year for Djokovic, as he won three out of the four major championships, and defeated Nadal in six matches throughout the year. On this warm Sunday night at Rod Laver Arena, that dominance continued, but it wouldn't be easy, as the two best players in the world played a five-set marathon into Monday morning in the longest Grand Slam final in history and Djokovic would win his third Austrailian Open title, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-7, 7-5. Relive the amazing game play in full and witness a tennis masterclass from the best players in the world.
